kilometres south of Route 19 [?] . All of them are of Jarai nationality and speak Khmer with
an accent. They have been transferred to holding ... According to the proposal of the 801
production unit, a request was made for a decision for the highest level straightaway. I
awaited the responses before being being agreeable to such as decision”.2683

Sau Saroeun called [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] for a meeting where, according to
the latter, they were told to “sort out those Jarai” ... the term ‘sort out’ [literally, to sort out
or resolve] meant to ‘kill and get rid of’”.2684
